Pornography - views?

surely the taboo is more about what one might, or might not!, be doing while consuming this material ..... presumably while alone at the time.

That the subject of masturbation, ok, I've typed it!!, has become less taboo is due in no small part to the American Pie genre of films where its not taboo among the characters and indeed they give advice to each other in this regard (American Pie 2 lubricant & adhesive mix up).

Both this subject and the initial topic are relatively harmless, I'd go so far as to say healthy in moderation, to a normal well adjusted person but there'll always be those who over indulge. I think its a chicken and egg argument as to whether, if there was no porn there would be no over indulgence, or those of the mind would overindulge anyway & just have to use their imaginations if there was no porn.

I'd agree that porn does get boring fairly quick & of course isnt a patch on the real thing & for this reason I find the idea of lapdancing / strip shows as utterly pointless. If t'lads head in on a stag then thats a bit of a laugh but its hardly original.

On an unrelated note, which was discussed here before, I'd be in favour of legalising and heavily regulating prostitution rather than ignore a situation where the vulnerable are the prey of criminals. - This is as someone who hasnt, nor intends, to avail of such services.

That must be real niche stuff?



I agree that this issue is unrelated so why raise it here?

well it's probably not totally unrelated in that for many, both 'careers' are often a last resort for the dislocated/disadvantaged. And both involve the selling of sex and provoke moral controversy.

hmm, I thought I'd flush out the Pedantic Pats with that one. While the topic is headed up "Pornography - views" - its clear from the posters subsequent comments that they are interested in the moral barometer, as they put it, of the country & in particular with regards to matters sexual.

TBH the chicken & egg porn is very overrated, more hard boiled than hard core ...groan

...as do I by the way. If you are male, this opinion is regarded with suspicion as far as I can see.

I reckon it's this bizarre unwritten male law that men can go to these shows or look at/laugh at porn in a group - but God forbid you ever admit you look at porn in private - because that means you masturbate and therefore there is something wrong with you, because real men don't need to masturbate as they can get the real thing whenever they want!

Its still seems that a lot of women however would never admit to it.

Not among that group as the good ladies of the band Divignals (or something that sounds like that) who repeatedly proclaimed that, with reference to thoughts about a particular individual, "I touch myself".

Taboo busting stuff for a Friday evening
 
I way my first porn film at 15. To be honest after about 5 minutes I are board stiff
 
Men are in the vids too! And they are not being "exploited"?! - are the views of porn being the exploitation of women biased? And people see women as the victims of men's grotesque behaviour?
 

What about you foxylady

Seriously, I think porn is fine and most people have been exposed to it in one form or another and they think the same. Its just a shame that exposure to porn is starting at such a young age, mainly due to the internet.

The subject of lapdancing and strip shows is always one that gets my goat (no asides clubman, save it for Dalyer) - how come when men go to sucha club it's "seedy, profane" when clubs open you have the "save the children" brigade out in force. Yet.....you get male strippers and chippendales and such and for women it's a great laugh! I always see a huge difference in public views on this, and behaviour. A guy I boxed with in Germany was a male dancer in different clubs and he was always covered in non-gym related cuts and bruises from women grabbing him. He complained and said that if it were men doing it to the women dancers in the club they'd experience a head dive and follow up in the back alley.
 
Pornography will be fine when then there are no victims. Until then it remains a sinister industry.

[SIZE=-1]from princetons def. of pornography: creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire.

I take your point on the films or photo images be they MF, BBW, FF, MMF, MM, MMMMMF, midgets, donkeys, S&M, piebalds or whatever your flava is, as they involve real people (or donkeys) who may have had no other option in their lives but to degrade themselves to earn money.

But then is written or drawn erotica porn ok as thats just fantasy creation?

Is everyone aware that the porn industry has driven the majority of tech changes over the last 10 years including streaming video and audio, credit card verification, age verification. So just think, if there was no porn, thered be no ryanair.com, no youtube.com and no amazon.com. So think porn and more websites will come into your life. Or something... [/SIZE]
